Mitt goes witless in London

Meet Mitt, Anglo-Saxon

In the midst of Mitt Romney's overseas trip to prove his foreign policy bona fides, it wasn't enough for an unnamed Romney staffer to say that Mitt understands the "Anglo-Saxon" connection with England and implying that President Obama does not.

In other words, the Romney campaign was saying "Mitt's white, Barack's not."

On the upside for the Mitt-wit, the Olympic Games themselves should overshadow anything that comes out of his mouth.

After London, where Mitt's wife has a horse in the equestrian competition, Romney heads to Poland and Israel.

In Poland, maybe Mitt, like Bush II, will apologize to Poles for "letting" them come under Soviet rule for decades. Or maybe Mitt knows a really good Pollack joke.

And, in Israel, maybe the Mitt-wit will push for more Israeli settlements in the West Bank. That would be helpful. Or, he could ask the Israeli prime minister if there is any more Jewish Holocaust survivors that the Mormon church could baptize as its own.

After this trip, Romney may wish he had toured Switzerland and the Caribbean, where he stashes his cash from American taxation, so he could fondle his money.

This Mitt-wit is no statesman.

Let's hope he doesn't get any closer to the White House than he is now in London.

Bend, Oregon weather

The view from Bend, Oregon

Bend may be the middle of nowhere, but that's how we like it. While the city has pockets of progressives here and there, the town leans right. But the tide is turning. And, as a true left-hander, I welcome the change.
